8.6/10 Excellent! (570 reviews)
"Common areas were nice and comfortable. Convenient to have self- service breakfast which was adequate. Denali room was barely big enough for the bed, and accompanying bathroom was very small. But convenient to airport and close to coastal trail if you have time to kill."

Short Stay Close to the Airport
"We only stayed one night to be close to the airport for an early morning flight. This 4 bedroom option was much cheaper than 4 hotel rooms and was way more comfortable! House was clean, beds were comfy, had basic supplies needed, hot tub was nice to use to relax the night before."
